Director Micheal Bay was signed on to help present a new curved-screen TV at the Consumer Electrics Show (otherwise known as CES) in Las Vegas on Monday. Everything was going really well until the teleprompter broke down.

At that moment, Michael tried to keep the broken presentation for a few moments, but then he walked away a bit awkwardly. Yes, in front of the huge audience.

Bay made a quick statement about the uncomfortable moment:

“I got so excited to talk, that I skipped over the Exec VP's intro line and then the teleprompter got lost. Then the prompter went up and down - then I walked off. I guess live shows aren't my thing … But I'm doing a special curved screen experience with Samsung and Transformers 4 footage that will be traveling around the world.”
